Kris Aquino quits showbiz

MANILA, Philippines—Kris Aquino announced her resignation from show business on Thursday.

“I have to make a sacrifice. I don’t want to be selfish,” she said in an interview with TV anchor Ted Failon.

She said she’s doing this for the sake of Bimby, her one and only son with ex-husband James Yap. Bimby’s real name is James Yap Jr.

“I am sacrificing my career and work for a simple and quiet life with him (Bimby),” she added.

Yap and Aquino are in the middle of a legal skirmish involving an incident on December 3 last year. Aquino accused Yap of making sexual advances on her inside her room, which she refused. She said Yap threatened her in the presence of Bimby, who was traumatized of the said incident.
